Recently, rumors about the expected return of Brazilian international Casemiro to the Brazilian league have been buzzing around the soccer world. Brazilian media magnate Jorge Nicolas has commented sharply on the topic, stating that the chances of Casemiro returning to the Brazilian league are almost nil. The basis for this is the lucrative annual contract Casemiro signed at Manchester United. It is said that Casemiro is the highest paid player in the United team, with an annual salary of £18.2 million, which is almost unrivaled in the Brazilian domestic league. Based on this, Jorge Nicolas has sincerely suggested to the fans: "It's worth dismissing such rumors as passing smoke."
Despite the fact that Casemiro lost his starting spot in the Premier League after that loss to Liverpool and has been rumored to be on the verge of a possible departure this summer with rumors of a number of Brazilian clubs, Jorge Nicholas is convinced that if Casemiro does leave, it is more likely that he will join clubs that offer comparable or even higher salaries than what he currently earns and that are willing to pay United a sizable transfer fee. He even specifically mentioned the Saudi Arabian league as another option for Casemiro, a statement that not only highlights Casemiro's appeal in the transfer market, but also maps the importance he places on his salary package.
